i ESide tee Ante. Every one at Falaise tnawtftbe story ol the mother of 'William the Conqueror by heart. They trouble themselves very little about the results of iwxiertt -investigation in regard to the real facts in the ease, these good folk of Falaise. They see no reason for doubting asy Srt of the story they hare always own. They will show yon with pride the beautiful old church of St G-srais, and its not cVstant neirrhbor in the

Grande Place. La Sainte Trinite; bttt

ttsey will, bid you look longest at. the

greaMwwnze statue ot tbe uonqueror in

the center of the Grande Plaee. And

it m well worth looking at. The Norman hero is mounted on a spirited horse, represented ae-plunghur impetu

ously forward, and the King, in a suit of

mail, and with visor up and grasping a lifted lance and pennon in his hand, is taming, as if to beckon aa- army on to victory.

"It is most wonderful," . the folk of

Jfalaise mil say to you, as yon and they gass at the warrior figure of whose history they are so proud. But they have more to show yon than this; for then they will take rem no the

hill and through the arched gateway of

we casiie. in me ramparts is a quiet, grassy walk, well shaded by trees, and there is a school up here above the town and an old twelfth century chapeL But yon hare not been brought to look at these. Yon uo, inntead, into the castle keep, and there yon will be shown a - double-arched window, with a atone pillar in the center, and looking out of this yon will gaze into a deep, narrow valley very far below, through which winds the river Ante, its surface risible only here and there among the trees. On the other side frowns a steep range of hills, the steepest of all being known as Mont Mirat. "From this window," says your comnation, "Count Bobert first saw Arlette;" and then yon are told how the youth of 18, looking down into the valley of the Ante, saw the women and girls washing clothes in the stream, just as you see them doing now, eight centuries later, and among them saw the beautiful Arlette, the tanner's daughter, and seeing, fell in love. You look down at the women below. You can just catch the sound of their voices ont you cannot distinguish one from the other. If tbe story yon have heard ia true, love, in Kobert's case, at least, was not blind, but most extraordinarily sharp-sighted. Be that as it may, he afterward made her Duchess of Normandy, and you are shown a little cell in the castle where their son, the Conqueror, was born, unless the historians are right who say that "William was not born in this castle at all. Afterward you will be taken to the top of Talbot's tower, a hundred feet higher, from which a most magnificent view can be had; but since this tower, built by the English King Henry the Fifth, can in , no way be associated with William, it '. has but little interest for your Falaise ' companion. Another day you go to the washing place beside the Ante, and watch the women and jrirls chatterincr and laiurh-

ing at their work and you think of the

.Boners canning aigat of . his ol Arlette in just such another

group' of workers eight centuries before. Here the river runs through a , anoeeway, made for the use of the washers, and here are great square tanks heaped high with seeking garments, the whole protected from the weather by sheds. Each one pays 3 sous a day for the privilege of washing here, but must furnish her own soap and cairoase lor beating the clothes, so one of the white-capped women will perhaps inform yon. Beyond are openair tanks,, where those who have no 3 sous to spare may wash for nothing. Yon wonder if there is an Arlette among any M these women. They are not very beautiful, you think. But as

you standi at tbe arened entrance to the washing-place you do not see all the women, and, even if yon could, you would not know which was named Arlette, if there-were one of that name there. Yet there is an Arlette there, and, if you had been told of it, I think it would not have been difficult to discover her. Arlette must be beautiful to bear ont her right to tbe name, you imagine; and you, within the archway, ' awe not much impressed with the faces you see. But this modern Arlette is among $be poorer women beside the Ante, and too far off for you to see her. There has always been an Arlette Among the women at the river, for it is a favorite name at Falaise, and sometimes there have been several; but ;at present there is but one Arlette liechasseur, the daughter of a shoemaker ia the Faubourg St, Laurent. Well, she knows the story of Arlette, the tinner's daughter, and very proud she is of her name. We have only tradition to assure na that the first Arlette was beautiful, but it needs no second glance to convince aa that Arlette Lechasseur is so. If only there were another Count Bobert to see! But she has too much sense to expect a Count or a&7 other noble personage to come and make love to her there beside the

Ante, even if she is pretty. "Where is thy Count Bobert, Arlette?" the other women sometimes say to her at the tanks, but hefcnly response is a good-natured laugh. Yet she has dreams of her own nevertheless. Not exalted ones, to be sure, but they sweeten existence to her. Last year, in the fair in the fauburg of Oniony, she met some one that, perhapsAlas t poor Arlette never gets beyond the "yerliaps" "in her thoughts., The thrifty Nornian does not often mar" ry a girl who can bring him nothing, and the Lechnssours ate very poor. So Arlette'snuuirjg&tio not stray beyond a "perhaps," as I said before t but people

f learn tobe content with a "very little,

and it is pleasant; to have one's dreams. Front Iter was! ring-pises Stiff looks up at the great cliff on which, the castle stands. Except for a few patches of furze and heather, the gray rook 'is almost bare, and v. hich is cliff and which is castle wall hard to tell, for the wall is at the' ixige of the cliff, and seems as if it might be a part of it, so worn and. gray is its surface. AndJbigh above aQ, tlfeTtlbot tower appears almost to touch the sky. Arlette has often been to tlu very top, but she does not like looking down into the valley so well as gazing up at the castle-croWned cliff. From , wh are she is plying her carrosse she oaa see Count Kobert's window and tho vine1 sprayer hanging down Armn the opening. Then she thinks of the tanner's daughter and Count Bobert. Now and then she can see some one leaning from the window and looking down into the valluy, as that handsome stripling may have leaned, and, looked eight centuries before. But 'she does . not imagine that any one 'can distinguish" her from the other women., bosida. .the Ante, She knows verr well thai; the distance is too

great-for that now. "'Perhaps eyesight

was better in Uovmt .Robert s time sbe

thinks. . But the day come8 when some one looking down' from Count Robert's

window does, see ?ner. ltj is a young American, ftnisftttir a year of travel in

Europe by a traveling tour through Normandy, burd'sned only by knapsack and field gbts. Some one at Caen has

ioia on jnns'iae nrosB'Sureiv visit Faltiiseu and foirie has come to tha cas

tle, and now, feoking through his glass at one object after another, his gaze has at last rested on Arlette at her washing tank 'beside the Ante. The

glass is a powerful one, so that he can see her very dfettnetl-as she beats the snapeSl linen with her carrosse, and

afterward rinsen the garments in the clear rtmniKg Vater: and he '"watches

hc long time.- At last, however, he C'i down the e?ass, and, after giving guide a fee.' he comes down from

the-castle atone. -

But it is no youth of 18 who sees this modern Arlette, but a man at least eight years older, who has looked upon many beautiful faces before this. Why should this one attract him especially? But it does interest him, and he means to see more of it, as Count Bobert like

wise resolved lour before: But the

American is quite as handsome as any

mediaeval count can possibly nave been,

though, as his figure is rather under the

middle size, Count JKobert was probably the tatter of the two, on the generally-accepted principle that mediseval heroes were men of commanding height. But the clear, olive complexion, dark hair and eyes and delicate mustache, sweeping up at bhe ends in long curves, Count Bobert probably did not boast. More than one woman had looked at this young American with admixing eyes, and he knew very well that he was handsome perhaps had at one time been a little vain of the fact but now, at 28, he merely accepts it as a piece of good fortune. Any one looking at the firm curves of the mouth would

sea evidences of abundant strength of

purpose, vv nether it would be exercised with any higher aims than obtaining his own way was the question. He had always had it without much trouble, and he was not more selfish than most

men.

As he goes down the hill his mind is full of this pretoy face he has just seen. And why not? He is taking life easily this summer. When he returns to America his work awaits him, into which he means to plunge in sober earnest; but at present he is enjoying life, and has plenty of room for vagrant fancies in his mmd. But it is a long distance down the hill to the washing sheds beside the Ante, and he is not fa-mil-ia enough with the town to find the nearest way ; so that;, by the time he reaches the arch entrance, many of the women have gone, and among them Arlette. Those who remain glance shyly at him,

but he sees only that Arlette is not'!

there, and he goes to his rooms at the Hotel de Normindie vexed at the disappointment. H'3 meant to have gone

back to'Oden the next day, but now he decides to rem; tin in Falaise Another day, in the hope of getting a nearer view of the pre ity face he has seen from the castle window. And chance is favorable to him that very day, for, strolling just at sunset through the Faubourg St. Laurent, ho sees Arlette standing at her father's door. The young fellow.

mentally noting the nature of her father's business, for Guy Lechasseur can be seen throug'i the entrance busy at

his work, takes his resolution at once, and, approaching the doorway, lifts his hat courteously to Arlette.

"Jte is very handsome," thinks Arl

ette. "There is no one like him in Falaise." "Good evening, my pretty one," says the stranger. "Can I see M. Lechasseur, the cordennier?"

Hearing the sound of his name, old

Guy comes forward, and the American

explains that he would' like to be meas

ured tor a wur of easy walking shoes.

"They moat be very easy and comfortable," he says, "for I walk a. great deal." "But- yes, monsieur," responds the father of Arlette, "I know what you would have. Come in, and it shall bo done at once. Arlette, my child, thou wilt have the goodness to measure monlieur's foot inrnediately." The honest ithoemaker is a little ex-, cited at this st dden order from a foreigner, and speaks hurriedly. "Arlette, my daughter, is more precise than I car,, be with the measurements, he explains tolas visitor. "Her I eyes are much younger than mine, you must know." The other smiled at this. He is very well suited wit h this arrangement, and so Arlette, blushing a little for it is a new experien9 for her to hsvo dark eyes bent on Iter so earnestly as now does as her father desires. "Remember, I am very particular," says the young man, when she has nearly completed her task. "I should not like to be badly fitted. Wiil it not be bet to repeat the measure, so as to be sure?" "But yes, monsieur," responds Guv, "ft is best to be sure." It ia very pleasant, this unlooked-for

little incident, and the young man determines to enjoy it. Arlette, kneeling before him the better to do what she is about, Ventures one shy glance at his face, but, finding him looking tenderly at her, bends down her head. Yet on no pretext can he prolong: the situation further, but after Arlette is through he remains to talk with the girl and hor

.fathef,

"Falaise is very beautiful," he says to Arlette, after Guy has returned to his worki and the girl, at her father's request, goes with him a few steps to point ont a nearer way to the Hotel de Normandie than the route by which he came. "Does monsieur really think so?" is her response. "' "I am very glad, for mc$eur must know that I love Falaiae.'0 "Yes, it is very betutiful," he repeats; "but I know what is mnoh more beautiful still, " he adds'.; and there is no mistaking his moaning, even if the Jittle pressure he gives her hand had been omitted, Monsieur: must not ray such things,

she says, slowly, after u pause.

"But I shall say such things, because thev are true, my pretty one. Look at

me. Arlette."

They are in a narrow lane by this time, where there is no one but them

selves,

"Look at me, Arlette," he said again. She does look at him, with her sweet,

wondering face. In the gathering twilight he can yet see the soft enrves of her lips and cheeks. He can not help it that he puts his ami about her; and it is all so new, so strange to her, that

she does not resist him.

"Does Arlette know that she is very

beautiful?" says, gently, ana. tuen

draws her closer to him,

"I must go back, now," she says,

simply, and so he releases her. "Mon

sieur will find the way now, doubtless,

if he will remember to take the next

turn to the right, she continues, when

he has taken away his arm.

"Yes," he replies, "it will be very easy; and now this is for showing me the way," and he puts a silver coin in her hand, and then, moved by a sudden impulse, kisses her onoe, twice, and

turns away.

" She is not angry with him when she

is alone once more. .Something new and sweet has come into her life, and it

has all been so sudden that .she is be

wildered a nttie. uut she does not cry to analyze her feelings. She knows only that this foreigner, who looks so

fondly and speaks so tenderly, has told her that she is beautiful and has kissed her. And that is quite enough for Arlette now. She wonders, as she goes homeward, if Count Bobert could have looked like this ..stranger. She thinks

of him all that night, and on the morrow, and as she stands at her washing-

tank beside the Ante, she is thinking of him still. Foolish little Arlette ! But

what should one do when one is but 18,

and has been kissed by the handsomest

man one has ever seen? surely one

need not be very angry or try to forget,

The morning is half gone when she sees him entering the archway to the

washing-sheds, but he does not see her.

She hears his voice in good-humored

passing chat with the woman there.

What if he should not see her. At last he comes out the shed toward the free

tanks. Surely, he must see her now.

But he stops for a word with Babotte and Susette, with Dorothea and Gert

rude before he comes to her. "Ah, my pretty one," he says careless

ly, as if this were the first time he had

seen her; but a look in his face tells

her that he remembers, and she 'under

stands why he spoke to all .the women

on the way.

He has a sketch-book with him, and now, as he leans against a post near

her, he takes a pencil and sketches

rapidly. Now and then he says a word

to her, and the women near by look at

him in the pauses of their work with shy, admiring glanoes. At last he holds

up a paper.

"Would you like to see, my good

mends ? ' he says to the women : and

then Babette, Susette, Dorotheo and

Gertrude crowd about him and examine his drawing" with voluble exclamations

of delight.

"There thou art, Dorotheo, to the

life," says one. "And there is Susette," says another;

"and monsieur has drawn me, too," she

adds in great glee.

"Would you like to show this to your friend under the shed?" suggests

the artist; and, inis appearing to be

exactly what they do wish; off-go the four girls, not observing that Arlette

does noVaccompany them. "See here, Arlette," says the' American, when-they are alone, He holds np another paper on which ha has sketched Arlette just as she looked when he saw her at her father's door.. "Am I like that?" she says timidly, and blushing a little. "Only a thousand times prettier," he says impulsively; and then, while no one is observing them, he showers a dozen kisses on her face and neck. And what should Ariette do? Soon the women came back with the drawing. "They say," said Dorothee, nodding her head in the direction of.he sheds, "that monsieur must make a picture 'Of them," "Very well," says the younp; man. and

he goes back to the sheds.

He is gone some time, but at last Arlette hears murmurs of delight from

the sheds, and she knows that the drawing ia finished. Soon afterward, he returns. '

"Bon jour," he says to Susette and

the others. "Bon jour, ma petite," he says to Arlette in -a ldw tone, as he takes up his cane, which had been left on the ground beside her, "Arlette will

see me again, and then he goes on Jus Way beside the Aute.

"Bon jour, monsieur," scream the

women after him when he is almost ont of sight; and at this he turns and waves

his hat They will talk about the hand' some foreigner beside the Ante for many a long day. By mjd afternoon Arlette goes home, and soon .afterward an -errand for her father takes her away from the house for an houy. "Monsieur has been here," says Guy, when she returns, "and he would have liked to say adieu to thoe, for he was going away." "Going away," repeated Arletto faintly. "But yes, my daughter, there wns news from America that caused him to go at once, he said to me. And he could not wait for the shoes, but paid me the money and told me to give them to some one who needed them. I wish him a good journoy, for he has done well by mo, and not every one would think to remember that he owed an old shoemaker like thy father, Arletto. America is over the sea, they tell me, and he can not yet behalf way to Caen,"

concludes the old man, drawing out his waxed thread slowly; Is it really true that she shall soe him no more? This is the one thought, that fills .Arlotto's mind. It is this that sends her supperless to bed. It is this that causes her to rise in the morning with eyes that are red with weeping, and that, have not boon closed in sleep the night through. Foolidi little Arlette, to weep for one who will soon forget her ! Bhe does not go .to hor

In Indiana tho average is 75, and New Jersey reports 101, both the same as in April All the remaining Northern States show an improvement since tho April report, as well as the Pacific coast, and nearly all the Southern States. These averages were: Connecticut 90 Mississippi. 91 Pennsylvania. 95 Tcxns 87 Delaware. S3 Arkansas ........SB Maryland 99 Tennessee.

The loss in area from" replanting in other crops may be assumed to reduce the prospect to that o'f April 1. An 1879 and 1880 the general average wor WS); in 18U it was 88; in l82, 10-J, and in May, of last year, 100 In former years there were no May returns. Two years ago the average declined to bO in July. Last year it increased to lot at the time of cutting. It should be understood that, in the department reports of the condition, 100 meanB a medium growth with foil Ktandand healthy plant. The Ohio and Wiuois Stnto reports compare with last year's crop thus: Ohio reports 0 for May compared with last year, and 62 compared with average crop. The spring wheat area will not be complete till May l", and will be reported Juno i. The statistical agent for Dakota makes the probable increase 30 per cent. The agent lor Minnesota repotted 80 per cent of lost year's area already planted. An increase of l! per cent is reported In Washington Territory. It is not probable that the increase in the sprinsr wheat area will more
